Except Will's definition: "power refers to velocity the ball stays at while traveling through the air for an extended period of time" is nonsensical, because: -The ball does not "stay" at any velocity while traveling through the air. It will always slows down at the exact same rate due to air resistance (*technically spin also has a small effect on deceleration, but that is fairly insignificant and irrelevant to power/pop). So, -It is irrelevant how fast it is moving after some "extended period of time", because that is solely a function of the initial velocity when it left the paddle. So, -The only thing that we care about for power vs pop is the initial velocity of the ball when it leaves the paddle face.

I agree completely with you on those that I have used. CRBN 1x is my go-to paddle. The 002 is a great option. I tried the gearbox pro power and the pop on that thing is incredible but no more power than my 1x in my opinion. You are spot on with adding weight. You can add power at the 12 o’clock. Pop is a different thing altogether. That’s not an option to be able to change. I am now considering the gearbox again and adding weight to the head to get the singles paddle that I want. Great review!

what's the difference between like and love.....as a little kid once said, "I like vanilla ice cream but I LOVE strawberry"....pop and power...hmmm, if you are a driver, then power is important and if you are a net person and want quick hands battles and returns, then pop is important...i have found the thinner 14 mm paddles have more "pop" at the net but I also like the solid feel of the thinner paddles and that feeling gives me a better sense of the power when hitting my drives

@TakeTheFallActHurtGetIndignant 8 месяцев назад

So to preface - let me say I actually agree with the pop vs power distinction, and for the most part I think the description of how they differ is fine. But Will tends to offer additional conjecture about the nature of powerfully hit balls that is misleading. He makes it seem like powerful paddles have an ability to make balls move fast AND MAINTAIN that high velocity for longer than usual, as opposed to less powerful paddles which might get a ball moving fast but then the ball runs out of juice and slows down quick. This is just not how bodies in motion behave. A ball traveling at a certain velocity will decelerate at the same pace due to air resistance, regardless of whether or not it was hit with some kind of "powerful" stroke. The only thing that matters is the velocity of the ball at the instant that it leaves the paddle face (as well as spin to some degree but that's besides the point). The difference between power and pop is simply: a powerful paddle more efficiently harnesses a fully developed stroke to achieve the highest overall velocities (~ 57 mph) right after the ball is struck, whereas a poppy paddle more efficiently takes advantage of a small stroke to achieve moderately high velocities (~35 mph) right after the ball is struck. But a ball moving at 57 mph will slow down just as quickly regardless of how powerful the paddle was that struck it.

@clintroberts1 8 месяцев назад

Okay I could see where a paddle would take a different effect at say an impact at 57 mph than at say 30 mph as other forces could come into play like a trampoline (more speed ramp up say deeper into the trampoline) but if both paddles are hitting at a consistent 30 mph then it's always going to be the same power or pop or whatever you want to call it...

@TakeTheFallActHurtGetIndignant 8 месяцев назад

@@clintroberts1 I don't really know what you're trying to clarify about my statement.

However, I do agree with Will that power and pop are actually different, and certain paddles can be more powerful or more poppy, because a small swing or a larger swing might better take advantage of different qualities of a paddle such as stiffness/ deflection (trampoline effect), swing weight, etc.

Hey Will, Would you agree that "Pop" and "Control" are inversely related? Meaning, paddles with lots of pop tend to have low control and vice versa? Or not?

@PickleballWill 4 месяца назад

For the most part yes. However, it’s a bit more nuanced because twist weight and stability are also a factor when it comes to control. And the way a paddle feels can also be subjective from player to player and that can also affect perceived control

Tests have shown that a player's subjective estimation of pop is very biased and skewed by sound and vibration. John Kew has done objective speed tests of many of the paddles you list, that are contrary to your opinion. How would you explain that?

@@Metow677 Thank you for your insight. I'm asking Will how he thinks about the divergence between the objective tests and his opinion. e.g. if I was him, I would assume that the tests were more accurate than my own personal subjective impression. Or I would look closer at the test results and conditions and try to replicate them somehow or gather more data

@Metow677 8 месяцев назад

@@kyebean you made the point that a player's subjective estimation is skewed by sound and vibration. Let's say that a quieter hitting paddle with less vibration is perceived to be less poppy and powerful. Good thing there is a line of paddles like this that exists: the Gearbox Pro series. This series Will lists as both poppy and powerful, despite having low volume and vibration. Then there is the ProKennex Black Ace, which is very loud, and has minimal vibration. Will lists this paddle as poppy and not powerful, which is also accurate. The Black Ace has more pop than Gearbox Pro series, but less power. If players thought that it really hit faster all the time because of the noise, then Will might think that this paddle has great power. However, he didn't say this. This is due to the fact that the paddle has less weight. Will also mentions this in his video. More weight means more power, but it never means more pop. Despite the Gearbox Pro series being thicker than the Black Ace, it almost has as much pop, and is a heavier paddle than the Black Ace. Will also disclaims at the very beginning of the video, that the paddles being compared are based on models that are similar to each other, that he has also tested out. This means that these paddles are not on an all-time performance kind of list, but on a list that compares paddles to each other than have similar qualities and reviews, to help people know if they are getting more control, power, or pop. Maybe you are stuck between the Vatic V7 Pro and the Prism Flash. Same company, mostly same materials. But they are in different categories. His list goes with the data, but it puts it into context, which he clearly made known from the start

@kyebean 8 месяцев назад

@@Metow677 Have you looked at JohnKew's data? Some of it clearly contradicts Will's opinions. Funny you mention Gearbox, because they have done tests showing that people's strong opinions of pop and power can be very inaccurate and biased by our senses. Pointing out that SOME opinions have seemed accurate doesn't address the issue or explain anything. By the way, I'm still interested in the personal opinions of reviewers

@hruntingson 8 месяцев назад

Your definition for power is already called “speed” aka”velocity” which is also in your definition. 😂

@TakeTheFallActHurtGetIndignant 8 месяцев назад

Yeah he misunderstands the laws of physics. But the basic premise does hold up, if you ignore his additional musings. That is, a powerful paddle more effectively takes advantage of a full stroke to achieve higher velocities, while a poppy paddle more effectively takes advantage of a quick stroke to achieve moderately high velociites.

@clintroberts1 8 месяцев назад

Unless you're using a robot that has a consistent "swing" speed or a ball launcher with exact speed when it hits a paddle and you're measuring distance on each this is just all on feel or approximation. Both feel and approximation can provide some insight but power and pop go together. How could a paddle have high pop but lower power if it's hitting the same spot on the paddle at the same speed. Isn't Newton's law about opposing forces the main thing here. Seems like a bit of baloney aka marketing schemes. I also have issue with the power vs control as the body adjust to the forces of a particular object. Now quality to me is a main factor which can be defined as consistency and I am sure sweet spot comes into play here. But the human brain is capable of adjusting their hit to different parts of a paddle, it's just more difficult to consistently be good. Spin I think is measurable although again with robot but differing speeds could affect the spin ability. I see that within the basic laws of physics. This is all just feel in my opinion with paddles being more powerful or controllable. Having issue with power and pop though as there may be slight differences due to say trampoline effect at differing speeds but they go hand and hand.

@@gg80108 What, are you retarded or something, or just illiterate? My comment clearly states "I do agree with Will that power and pop are actually different, and certain paddles can be more powerful or more poppy". But the way he defines those terms is not consistent with the laws of physics/ Specifically, because a ball with a certain initial speed leaving the paddle will slow down just as fast regardless of the kind of paddle that struck it to give it that initial speed. The initial speed the instant it leaves the paddle is the only thing worth mentioning, because it will always slow down at the same rate due to air resistance. So when Will says that power involves the "velocity that the ball stays at after an extended period of time", it's just a shit definition. He should just stick to describing power vs pop by large swing vs small swing.

@kyebean 8 месяцев назад

Definition of power doesn't make sense to me. Why would it have anything to do with the length of time the ball is in the air? In my mind the only difference between pop and power is swing speed. In fact, I think you can't truly quantify pop or power without measuring swing speed and weight and factoring those numbers into the final result

@zeruth467 8 месяцев назад

To me it helps to think like, if you hit a huge drive with the ace paddle, yes it will go fast initially but how far will it actually go? Power is, it stay fairly consistent in speed, and travels a longer distance

@kyebean 8 месяцев назад

If I'm not mistaken, what you're saying is basically against physics. All else being equal, what is the physical difference between a pop shot and power shot other than swing speed?

@bicyclethief 8 месяцев назад

I think of "pop" as how much energy is returned from a moving ball hitting a stationary paddle. While "power" is how much energy is delivered to a stationary ball hit by a moving paddle.

@kyebean 8 месяцев назад
